Brush DOTS workaround by Max S. on Tuesday February 10th 2015, 20:26 Currently running Photoshop CS6 under Wine 1.7.34 on Mint. I too have experienced issues where some tools will not properly draw when holding the mouse down. Sometimes I can draw squiggles, sometimes it's just a dot. Thankfully I found a workaround to this issue in tool options. Simply turn off 'Spacing' for each drawing tool (Brush, Eraser, Pencil, etc). After that, dots should be no more. This solution may work on older Photoshops. [post new] [reply to this]

Floating sizes by Woalk on Saturday August 2nd 2014, 17:19 I installed Photoshop in a 32-Bit-Wineprefix and it's working very fine at the first sight, even without the described installer problem (it said "Installation successful" just as it should). One thing I notice: The floating values around the mouse pointer when moving or resizing an element or the selection always stays the same values as they were when showing up (most of the time something around zero, like 5px or 7px, depends on how fast I move the selection before it shows up). I think this has to be considered as a normal inconvenience of using a Windows App in Wine, but maybe someone knows a trick if there is any. [post new] [reply to this]

Crash after selecting Trial by timm0e on Wednesday July 30th 2014, 13:12 Hey Guys, I want to install CS6 as Trial, but after selecting that I want to install the Trial, PDApp.exe stops working wine tells me to report this, so here it is: pastebin.com/v4YkxHyC Hopefully someone has a solution for it :) (BTW: I'm installing using the dependencies from this Guide: geebzor.com/tech/linux/complete-guide-to-running-photoshop-cs6-on-ubuntu-13-10/ My System itself is 64bit, but I created a WINEARCH=win32 wineprefix) [post new] [reply to this]

Objects don't line up on guides by Nate Gantt on Thursday July 3rd 2014, 20:33 I'm using Linux Mint 17, and managed to get CS6 working! Awesome. Except, for some reason, objects don't line up on guides I've set. I can't center anything because of this. I came from Linux Mint 14, and was using CS5--which worked fine. No clue what changed in that regard. Everything else has been absolutely stellar though. [post new] [reply to this]

Installation failed after selecting a localization by Gringo Goronasky on Friday December 20th 2013, 6:26 After selecting an installation location, in the next step, I receive “installation failed”.

CS6 Working with Brushes by RP on Friday August 16th 2013, 13:11 I was able to get this working finally after some trial and error using WINE version 1.3.34 and playOnLinux. I haven't tried it yet, but it should be possible to just use wine 1.3.34 without playOnlinux and get the same results as long as the libraries are the same it should work. What I did: First I tried using the instructions at top using Wine 1.6 and was able to get CS6 to install (even though it doesn't mention the fact that one must ignore the failed installer warning and let it run anyway until the HDD light stops blinking which nearly made me pull my hair out because I thought it was still broken). After successfully installing The Brushes didn't work so I tried the Patch via building from source. Not too bad but the brushes (while improved) still glitched about 50% of the time. About to give up on the entire fiasco I decided to try the PlayOnlinux route via commentor "Urvoy P" instructions. This doesn't work because too many additions which will break the playOnlinux Bottle and the installer won't work at all (at least for me). Instead here is The Solution for me: Wine 1.3.34 w/PlayOnlinux and these additions in this specific order Installed these first: atmlib gdiplus ie6 vcrun2005sp1 vcrun2008 fontsmooth-rgb corefonts msxml3 msxml6 Then installed these: amstream, cc580, directx9, d3dx11, dinput, dinput8, gecko, vcrun2005,2008,2010, VideoDriver, xact, xineput Then I copied my Adobe Installation from my previous wine 1.6 installation into the PlayOnlinux virtualdrive created above (you could use a windows installation instead just need an installed version of CS6 to copy from) Just moving relevant sections of: "Common Files" "Adobe" After that I created a shortcut using the PlayOnlinux menu for Photoshop and tried it and it now works like a charm with nothing borked and brushes working. Hopefully this saves someone all the hassle I went through figuring it out. Thanks to the previous commentors as well, I wouldn't have known where to start even experimenting without them.

Like a charm by Veselin Vasilev on Saturday April 6th 2013, 0:37 Did exactly as described in the instructions, including complete wineprefix wipe and got it working like a charm. Initially I had quite a headache but after the prefix erase, it runs very nicely. Type tool is working, brushes are fine; The sidepanels get blacked out when open but show up properly when expanded so no big issue there. From what I've tested, so far so good.

Solving the brush bug by Storm on Friday January 25th 2013, 9:58 The bug that causes brushes to draw a dot and not register the rest of the line appeared in Wine 1.3.35, so in case of Photoshop CS5, running it on Wine 1.3.34 fixed it. You can easily run multiple Wine versions using PlayOnLinux. Bug here: bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29871 You can also just patch the source code of Wine but I think running 1.3.34 under PoL is much easier. Also, I was able to install CS5.1 Extended 32bit and have it work perfectly out of box, without the need for ANY tweaking, by using the "portable edition" installer with PlayOnLinux! Probably works with CS6 too, didn't test yet but you may want to try. See my comment on CS5 for details. [post new] [reply to this]

by kai on Saturday December 22nd 2012, 16:07 I'm not sure if this is more or less common knowledge at this point but there was a patch released to fix the brush problem in photoshop in wine (photoshop would not recognize that a brush was being applied while holding down the click button or while on tablet and would only write a single dot) you can find it here: bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29871 I read about it here: forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=17120 and to learn how to apply a patch, you can read this: winewiki.winehq.org/Patching It looks more difficult and involved than it is. I started out installing my dependencies one by one until I saw on another forum that you could: sudo apt-get build-dep wine -------------- Notes about usage: For me, photoshop does not seem to be shutting down properly. It runs fine once - then if you try to run it again (at least from a terminal) there is an error. execute: sudo pkill wine and then you should be able to run it properly once again.

Ubuntu 10.04 and wine 1.4 by Joel on Monday November 26th 2012, 20:40 Hello, I'm quite new on this forum. I've been trying to install CS6 on Ubuntu 10.04 using wine 1.4 (apparently wine 1.5 is only available for more recent os). At first, I was facing graphical glitches when using Bridge (Photoshop and Camera Raw appeared to work properly). I finally found out a turnaround and I thought I'd share it with the community. I ended up adding odbc32.dll and odbcint.dll (from a previous win98 installation) to correct the glitches in Bridge. Note that these need to be override to native after Photoshop install. Here is the script I used: #!/bin/sh # # Define paths DIRECTORY=$HOME/Documents/Programs/Photoshop PREFIX=$HOME/.wine/photoshop # # Remove old winetricks version sudo apt-get remove winetricks sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/winetricks # # Remove old gecko version sudo apt-get remove gecko sudo rm -rf /usr/share/wine/gecko # # Remove old wine version sudo rm -rf $PREFIX mkdir $PREFIX sudo apt-get remove wine sudo apt-get remove wine1.3 # # Install wine sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install wine1.3 # # Install winetricks cd ~/ && wget www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks chmod +x winetricks sudo mv winetricks /usr/bin # # Install gecko wget downloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine_gecko-1.4-x86.msi #wget downloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine_gecko-1.8-x86.msi sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/wine/gecko sudo mv wine_gecko-1.4-x86.msi /usr/share/wine/gecko/ #sudo mv wine_gecko-1.8-x86.msi /usr/share/wine/gecko/ # # Configure wine install prefix and architecture export WINEPREFIX=$PREFIX export WINEARCH=win32 # # Install dll files winetricks atmlib # Message from previous gdiplus install tryout: # Please download NDP1.0sp2-KB830348-X86-Enu.exe from download.cnet.com/NET-Framework-1-0-GDIPLUS-DLL-Security-Update/3000-10250_4-10732223.html and place it in $HOME/.cache/winetricks/gdiplus, then re-run this script. cp $DIRECTORY/CS6/DLL\ FILE/NDP1.0sp2-KB830348-X86-Enu.exe $HOME/.cache/winetricks/gdiplus/. winetricks gdiplus winetricks msxml3 winetricks msxml6 winetricks dotnet20 # dotnet20 install completed, but installed file $PREFIX/dosdevices/c:/windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v2.0.50727/mscorlib.dll not found cp $DIRECTORY/CS6/DLL\ FILE/mscorlib.dll $PREFIX/dosdevices/c:/windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v2.0.50727/. winetricks vcrun2005sp1 winetricks vcrun2008 # vcrun2008 install completed, but installed file $PREFIX/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/VC/msdia90.dll not found cp $DIRECTORY/CS6/DLL\ FILE/msdia90.dll $PREFIX/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/VC/. winetricks vcrun2010 # # Files added from a previous win98 install cp $DIRECTORY/CS6/DLL\ FILE/odbc32.dll $PREFIX/drive_c/windows/system32/odbc32.dll cp $DIRECTORY/CS6/DLL\ FILE/odbcint.dll $PREFIX/drive_c/windows/system32/odbcint.dll # # Override manually gdiplus as native and msxml3 as native then builtin winecfg # # Install Photoshop : wait until hard drive light turns off (5-15 min) even if install shows that it aborts wine $DIRECTORY/CS6/SOFTWARE/Set-up.exe # # Override manually odbc32 and odbcint as native winecfg # # Run Photoshop env WINEPREFIX="$PREFIX" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix $PREFIX/dosdevices/c:/Program\ Files/Adobe/Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS6/Photoshop.exe # # Run Bridge env WINEPREFIX="$PREFIX" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix $PREFIX/dosdevices/c:/Program\ Files/Adobe/Adobe\ Bridge\ CS6/Bridge.exe # #done [post new] [reply to this]

Works for 32bit ubuntu only by Bruner Bear on Thursday July 19th 2012, 8:53 I tried everything to make it work on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit, but had too many problems (something related to gdiplus I think, but I'm hardly an expert). I can confirm that this method works for Ubuntu 12.04 32bit though, as I installed it as described on a virtual box running that system. Is there any hope problems will be solved soon for 64bit, or should I go back to Ubuntu 32bit? I really want to run PS with wine as I did on my previous 32 system, rather than in VB or dual boot.
